MACHINE.

SPECIFICATION forming, part of Lettere Patent No. 330858, dated November17, 1885.

vApplication filed June 27, `1885.

I companying drawings.

My invention relates to washing-machines; and it consists in theconstruction and. arrangement of the parts, which will be more fullyhereinafter described, and pointed out t in the claims. 1

In my application tiled April 29, 1885, Serial No. 163,813, I haveillustrated and described a washing-machine in which a wringer has armscast integral therewith, said arms having an oscillating frame movablymounted in the ends thereof, which carry a fluted roller or rubberacting in connection with a wash-board.

One object of my present invention` is to provide a washing-machineattachment which may be readily secured to any well-known form OI"clothes-wringer, and, when so attached, may be used, in connection withatub or other water-receptacle and a washboard, as a washing-machinecomplete in all its parts.

A further object of my invention is to provide a rubber or roller to beused in connection with said attachment, having compartments or bucketswith suitable ports for the ingress and egress of the water, whereby thegarment or other article may be kept continually wet while being washed.

I attain these objects by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanyingdrawings, wherein like letters of reference indicate similar parts inthe several views, and in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of myimproved washing-machine attached to a wringer as it sets upon the tuband in a position to be operated. Fig. 2 is a side elevation,partly insection, of the washing-machine detached from the wringer, and showingthe buckets and ports in the hollow rubber. Fig. 3 is a front elevationof one of the arms, showing the adjustable ear thereof. Fig. 4 is an endelevation of the rubber or roller, illustrating the manner of applyingthe strips thereto.

`Serial No. 169,993. (No model.)

Fig. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the rubberstrips, showing themannerr of constructing the same. 4

A indicates a wringer, which is mounted upon a tub, B.` C is awash-board, which has bent legs c, which support the wash-board in `thebottom of the tub, the other end of said yboard resting against theupright portion of said tub B.

The wringer A is constructed in any wellknown manner, and to the topmostportion thereof a frame having curved arms D D is detachably secured tothe bolt d. These arms D have ears D cast integral therewith, as bestillustrated in Fig. 3, which have slots d d cut therein, through theupper slot d of which the top bolt, d, of the wringer passes and securesit to the said wringer. Through the lower slot d of the ear D awood-screw, d2, is passed and enters'the wringer, which se- ,cures theear D at this point and avoids the strain or purchase-which wouldotherwise be upon the top bolt, d, if it were used alone. These arms Dare rendered adjustable to any size of wringer A by the length of theslots d d, which allow the bolt d to pass through them at any desireddistance from the arms D. The ears D may be constructed of such a lengththat the slots d d therein may be cut deep enough to permit the bolts dof wringers of different sizes to adjust themselves to the same. Thearms D D have suitable braces, D2 DZ, and at their ends are united by agas-pipe bearing, D3, which has T- joints da mounted on its ends,through which sliding rods d4 pass and have free movement. These rods d4have wooden extensions d5 connected thereto, which have suitablebearings in their lower ends which embrace a rubber or roller, E.V Thisroller E is constructed with two-heads, E, which are constructed ofsuitable material, and are bound together by strips e, which are slottedat each end, in which a ring, c', of non-corrosive metal, is situated,and unites the parts together. These rings e', holding the strips e, arethen fastened to heads E of the roller E by suitable non-corrosive metalpins or small nails, c2. This rollerEis hollow, cylindrical in form, andis divided into four compartments or buckets, E2, by divisional stripse3. These strips e3 are slotted so that IOO the one will t into theother and form a tight and neat joint, as at e4. The compartments Eleach have ports e-one at the upper and the other at the lower portion ofeach compartment or bucketsaid ports being situated adjacent to thepoint where the divisional strips e3 meet the outer surface of theroller. The outside iiuted covering-strips e are constructed asillustrated in Fig. 5. The said strips have two flanges, e6, on each ofthe lower sides, which t against each other and form a tight joint. Whenthe ports e5 are constructed, the strips e have their flanges e6 cutaway in their'central portions, as shown in Fig. 1,'and form a stripwhich will have the cross-sectional contour represented in Fig. 5. Abrace, F, is mounted above the roller E, which has an upright post, F. Awire, f', is. swiveled,

I which lembraces a handle, F2, said handle being adapted to turn in anyplane to suit the operator. Vhen a garment is being washed, the rollerE, mounted in the oscillating frame, traverses the said garment on thewash-board, the frame allowing an easy motion when the said roller is atits lowermost or-highest point. When the rollerE is down in the water inthe tub, the water enters the ports c5 and fills the buckets orcompartments El, and when the roller is drawn up on the garmentthe'water ows out of the said ports e5 onto the garment and keeps it ina moistened condition contin` ually, as the ports reach thelowest orfiowing point, so that each revolution of the roller E throws more orless water on the garment washed. Y

It is obvious that many minor details of construction could be made andsubstituted for those shown and described without in the least departingfrom the nature and Havingy thus described my invention, what I claim asnew, and desire to secure-by Letters Patent, is-

1. In a washing-machine attachment, the combination of a frame havingcurved sides, and means, substantially as described, whereby the samemay-be secured and adjusted to any clothes-wringer, a rubber havingcompartments therein, provided with ports for the ingress and egress ofthe water, and an oscillating device connected with the frame and therubber, whereby the rubber may have free movement and be supported bythe frame, as set forth.

2. In a washing-machine attachment, the combination of the curved arms DD, ears D', having slots d d cast integral with said curved arms andengaging the bolts d of the wringer, the oscillating device carrying ahollow roller, E, having ports c5 entering compartments E2,

-and a swivel-handle, F, secured to the oscillating device, whereby therollermay be used in connection with the board C with an oscillatingmovement, substantially as-described.

3. A rubber or roller for washing-machines, having compartments o'rbuckets, divisional strips forming said buckets, ports or openings insaid compartments for the ingress and egress ofthe water,strips forcovering the roller, and a non-corrosive metal ring securing the ends ofthese strips to the heads of the rubber or roller, substantially asdescribed. l

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses..'v
